At the end of each season the day comes, where I announce the winners, stats and future plans and here we go:
z][t defended successfully their GR Team ladder title from season VII and further won the Ghost Recon 2vs2 CQB ladder.
BoC won the Raven Shield ladder.
The FFA ladders: especially the GR one was a big hit: far over 100 active and almost 200 registered players. GhostSniper totally owned this ladder by points and played games. He played unhealthy 61 FFA cbs!
All in all season VIII was a very active one, and the new stat GameRanger Premium feature didn't influence it, to my surprise, in anyway. The Raven Shield ladder is unfortunaly still not that popular: only 37 cbs (47 season VII) have been played. The lack of a thought out user interface and probably the high hardware demands are one of the reasons. The RvS FFA ladder had to less activity to announce a winner. However we gonna stick with the game, at all it's a really nice game.
However some people asked me why the hell are the 3 seasons not during vacations. My BL admins and I have observed the last 7 seasons and further the 2 years BL before and we made the funny observation that in all vacations the activity went down to almost 0. It seems like most of you, as well as I, have the habit to play when we should learn for school or university and not when we have spare time
As a consequence we set the dates for the 3 seasons per year as in my previos post to:
Season One: Jan 15- Mar 15 + finals
Season 2 would begin May 1 and run through June 30, + finals
Season 3 would begin Sept 1 and conclude Nov 1 + finals
Season IX will start on 1st september and it will come with lots of surprises that's for sure. The preparations are already in full swing. Some revolutionary ideas should bring us all back to one big Mac gaming table, where bitching has no chance. I'll only give you one hint: you will be totaly owned by sheep, muahahaha! - Let the rumors start
Congratulations again to all winners and all clans that participated. Thanks and cheers,
